Higher DOT Penalties for Regulatory Violations in 2024
Summary
To calculate the new fines, the penalty amount is multiplied by the percent change between the October 2022 CPI-U and the October 2023 Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), per the White House’s Office of Management and Budget. Penalty values vary greatly depending on the agency and the citation code.
